Motorola ROKR Z6

Motorola ROKR Z6

Frazier Barretto, Jul 23, 2007 1750 hrs IST

It will rock, or will it not - here's some insight from us to help you decide whether you should give this Moto a chance to rock you.

Linux OS, Brilliant Interface, 1GB Card, EDGE (Class 12)

No FM, Poor 2 MP Camera, QCIF Video Recording

Next Page

The ROKR seems to be becoming a brand of its own with series to follow just like the N and E-Series from Nokia, or the Walkman phones from Sony Ericsson. The newest in the ROKR lot is the Z6. It's not anything like the previous one that we've seen with the PDA features along with multimedia capabilities. Z6 hails from the RIZR Z3 we reviewed earlier this year, which had all the qualities of a good phone, its negative points were restricted to the QCIF video and the old Motorola OS.


Let's get on with it and see if the ROKR Z6 rocks any better than the ROKR E6.

I won't say that MotoRokr is very good but upto a level it's useful.... Pros: 1) Good sound quality 2) bluetooth headset 3) For 2.0 Mega Pixel camera, picture quality is good. Cons: 1) No FM tuner 2) Video quality is not that much good.

I bought this cell, its good. got as a birthday gift, the cell phone is good, better than my w700i only thing is lacks is FM, quality of cam is OK ,but i personally think that it is worth 4 stars, the sound quality is superb, better than my w700i. sound quality is good altogether, headphones are good, it has thump after all. everyone has their own views, same here even after differentiating it from w610i it got four stars?!! confusing eh? but its good in its class, somehow i PERSONALLY feel its better than nokia 5310 xpress music(not bcoz i owe it) i never used a w610i though.

I bought one and found this phone to be very good. Things I liked: - Clear voice quality - Music quality very good on its earphones. I didnt buy the bluetooth headset, so cannot comment about it - Download songs very fast from PC. Much faster than video ipod I am using -Interface & display -Comes with pre recorded 2 hr live concert of Roger waters. Must for pink floyd fans

This fone Motorola ROKR Z6 has been given 4 stars in rating -same as SE W-610i. This i think is unfair- like putting cheese & chalk in same category- this According to you ?The quality of sound is average; the standard earphones are also very basic and come nowhere close to the sound quality of the Walkman phones. There is no FM tuner for the phone? As also camera The images produced were blurry and grainy as well. The images shot at night were bad even with the flash on.?this phone has 4 Stars? Whereas in your own interview of W-610i- I quote you ?The FM tuner of the W610i is quite nice. There isn't much to say here except that the reception was pretty clear while being on the move-It's a Walkman phone and like any other Walkman, this too has a great sound output; earplugs as well as its speaker. The earplugs are actually what put the Walkman a step ahead of other music phones. The sound is crisp and there are no signs of the sound cracking at top volume. Compared to the W810i, I'd say its sound quality is at par with the W850i. The speaker of the phone is loud, much louder than previous Walkmans. It is loud and doesn't crack, but don't use it a lot as for that there are portable speakers bundled along. These speakers are really good; This fone also has 4 Stars rating. The rating system seems rather skewed and confused. Chalk & cheese have same rating !!

A few weeks back for a similar complaint, TT had justified it saying that the rating system takes price into account and therefore a cheaper though inferior device may get better ratings as it is better VFM. Don't know how they will justify it this time.

TT Review = CRAP

TT reviews r not that good.

by sidk, Ghaziabad, on Jul 28, 2007 01:54 PM, Report abuse

TT should standardise their reviews they always stat whithin 3-4 Stars (nowadays) so only 3 diff scales (3-3.5-4) noone can catogerise all fones in 3 categories price is relative term it could be possible dat next time whn they review a fone of 10K with features less dan this fone and give 4.5 stars yo iy this fone gets down to 10k i think they shoould compare only specifications basis

No FM Radio and no additional speakers. It is not worth the price. These are a must add-ons and features.

by Nitin, Bangalore, on Jul 24, 2007 05:34 PM, Report abuse   Reply

No FM, ordinary audio quality, camera quality is poor, what is the purpose of spending around 12,000Rs. No sense at all.

by srini1973, chennai, on Jul 24, 2007 10:09 AM, Report abuse   Reply

Purpose of spending around 12,000Rs is to show others that you are FOOL.
